Tokyo Cooking Studio

A fantastic class, Yukari was an excellent teacher and so welcoming and friendly. She was on hand to give tips and recommendations for exploring Tokyo and all the dishes we made were absolutely delicious. Highly recommend!

Had an amazing time - I had the market to meal set booked and enjoyed every moment ! We went to the market to gather local ingredients and she gave background information on everything and the cooking lesson were so informative and enjoyable. It was a smaller class which I prefer to get a more intimate setting. We were all involved and it was definitely a full menu so come hungry and leave happy! Yukari was so nice and helpful with tips, she all made us feel welcome in her home which was a great studio ! Thank you for the hospitality

We had such a great experience taking the Sushi 101 class at Tokyo Cooking Studio with Shinji. It was such a welcoming atmosphere, and Shinji was very knowledgeable, showing us the right way to cut each piece of fish. We truly had a great time, and it was the highlight of my trip to Japan!

Going to the market, hearing about the ingredients and then getting to prepare them ourselves in the studio was a very good experience. We had a wonderful time with Yukari. She is lovely, very interactive and passionate about what she is doing. I’ll be visiting in my next trip to Japan :)

We had an enjoyable and informative experience putting together a selection of Japanese small plates with Yukari. She welcomed us warmly into her home and she was fun and engaging. We had a delicious meal at the end of our class and all dishes were made with high quality ingredients. We learned a lot about Japanese techniques, equipment and ingredients and Yukari also gave us some great recommendations for shopping and exploring after the class.

Had the absolute best experience here back in April doing the vegetarian cooking class with Yukari. Came back to write a review because we still think about how amazing of an experience this cooking class was and how much good food we had! The instructor facilitated incredible conversation and it felt like we really got to know her and everyone in the class. Also learned a lot from her and just overall had an incredible few hours. Might be my favorite thing we did in Japan! Do not hesitate to book this!

What an amazing and fun experience! I did the Ramen making class with my husband and we had a great time. We met so many wonderful people during this experience and spent the rest of the day with them exploring Tokyo! The instructor was so kind and insightful ! We learned a lot and the food was amazing! She served dessert after with some sake! Highly recommend !!

Located in a very residential part of Shibuya, the studio is converted from an old garage. We meet the very jovial Yukari-San, who studied cooking in New Orleans and San Francisco before returning to her home country. The space is extremely well laid out and it can accommodate up to 8 students (my best guess), and we have a full class today. We start with green tea and then get put to work. Aprons on, we make almost everything from scratch, including the ramen broth!. Each one takes turns doing prep, chopping, mixing, dumpling stuffing, which went into the ramen broth, gyoza, and black sesame ice cream (using tahini made from black sesame seeds). We each prepare our own bowl, cooking our noodles, ladling the broth, adding the toppings, etc. Yukari-San takes out some Yuzu chili sauce (yuzukosho), which I fell in love with. There is even sake flavored with yuzu. All very delicious!!! Yukari-san shared a wealth of information, made it understandable to everyone in the class, even those who knew little about japanese cooking. She explained the origin of the dishes and their ingredients. I learned so much. Absolutely everyone visit Tokyo would enjoy this experience. Highly recommended,
